ABSTRACT, This volame is the seventeenth in a series of 29

coordinated MINNEMAST units in mathematics and science fdr' kindergarten and the primary grades. Intended for use by second -grade-teachers, this unit guide provides summary and 'overview of theunit, a list of materials needed, and descriptions of five groups of

,activities.'The purposes and procedures for each activity are` di-Stussed. Examples of questions and disbussion topics are given, 'and

in several cases ditto masters, stories for.reading aloud, and otherinstructional materials are included in the. book. In this unit,,multiplication is approached as repeated addition on a number line. .

In a second set of lessons, Multiplication is considered inconjunction with arrays. Addition and multiplication are thencompared, and simple fractions are introduced. A final review sectionis also included. (SD)

NItiltiplicatioriis,a mathematical operation that yields from .

a,ny two real numbersta-uniqUe third number called the product.Multiplication of 3 an -4 .yields the product 3 x 4. "3 x 4"is a name of p nurnber that we also know as 12. It is also

-.possible. to" think of "Multiplitation by 3". as an operation that`thhisfortns 4 into the-product 3 x 4,

tirThe method used to find the single numeral. 12, which alson.i.nies the product 3 X 4, is called a\multiplicatiOn algorithm.There are several such algorithms available, Those that willbe used at some time in the MINNEMAST program are:

I. Repeated addition using jumps on a number line.2. Repeated addition using arrays or combinations of

equivalent sets. ,

a. Related scales on parallel number lines.4. Cartesian products. (This wi,10e explained in a,later

second grade 'unit.)5. A graphical method using aline of given slope..,6. A methorized table and computational rules.7. A sli4 rule.

These algorithms differ in their g.enerality. For example, algo-rithm 4 can be used only for the counting numbers 1, 2, 3,whereas,the graphical method'of algorithm 5 can be applied to .

all real number (including, e.g. r2)'. In this unit we chooseto use the first three algorithms. Some rdasons for this choiceare listed below. 4

All three algorithms have a strong connection with addition,with which the children are familiar.Each algorithm can be"given a simple physical interpretation..As the need arises' for multiplying other numbers such asfrictions, the, children need not unlearn the methods learned

Although the dif-ferent algorithms are clLisely rel&ec, the relations wit not bemade explicit. kjowever,sthe examples will -give the childrena feeling that underlyingill'of them is the-mathematical ideaof multiplication.

Why Introduced at this Time

You may be wondering Why simple multiplication is intr oducedso early in thessecond grade materials, before thd children- .have-had much opportunity to leaf i systematic procedures foraddition and subtractiOn. There area several reasons for ourearly consideration of multiplication.

First, the testing of this unit has shomiNthat second: graderscan easily grasp the sconcepts -presented .here. In fa'ct, mani,become familiar with simple multiplication even when it is notpresented to them in their school work.

Second, it is possible to give the children a much better un-derstapdingOf our positional system of nuMeratiOn if theyderstand products. For example, they will use the idea that"375" means (3 x 100) 1- (7 x 10) + 5. '

9

Third, it beco6.s possible to deal with many of the non-prith-%metical second grade topics m&e meaningfully if the childrenhave a concept of produdts. This is true of the material onscaling and representation, and on areas of rectangles.

-The next day some of the men painted a number line on a longstraight road. The men 'planned to use the number linp in their machinetests, but the kangaroos thought it was::painted especially for them toplay on.

roo family had jumrping contests along the line. They found thatFather 'Kangaroo jumped exactly 4 unit spaces each time. Mother

Kangaroo jumped 3 unit spaces each time. Chucl: made jumps of 2unit spaces, and Katie made jumps of only I unit space. Joey , thebaby of the family, couldn't jump at ally, so Mother Kangaroo carried'him wherever she went.

Less-on 5: MAKING A MULTIPLICATION CHART USING THE NUMBER LINE

Inthisaslesson products from 0 x 0- to 6 x 6' are found 'byrepeated addition on the number line and are recorded on achart.'

MATERIALS -

- chalkboard number line - - either a.demonstratiormiumberline or one drawn on the chalkboard, numbered td 36

- Worksheets, 15 and 16

- number line to at least 25 for each child

PROCEDURE.

I. Ask a child to show 2 steps of 3 unit spaces each on the chalk-board number line. Ask someone to write both .a multiplicationand an addition sentence on the chalkboard describing the steps -on the number line. (3 + 3 = 6 and 2 x 3 = 6).

.7

Ask another child to show 3 steps,of 3 unit spaces each.Have thege equatibns written directly-below the first equa-tions.

3 + 3 + 3 = 9 and ,,3x 3=

THIS TIME WE WILL TAKE JUST ONE STEP OF 3 UNITSPACES. CAN SOMEONE ,SHOW THIS ON THE NUMBERLINE AND WRITE THE EQUATIONS ABOVE THE EQUATIONSALREADY WRITTEN? (3 = 3 and I x3 = 3)

< NOW CAN SOMEONE GUESS HOW TO WRITE A MULTI-PLICATION EQUATION'WHEN NO 3-STEPS ARE TAKEN?(0 x 3-:= 0)

.WRITE THE EQUATION ABOVE THE MULTIPLICATIONEQUATION FOR I x 3.

The chalkboard chart should now look like this:,

9

This chart could have been constructed by starting atx 3 = 0, but it.will_be less confusing for the children

to start with the more obvious 2 x 3 = 6. Continue thechart to 6 x 3 = 18. It will look like this:

0 x.3 =

:

0

3 = 3 I x 3 = 3

3 + 3 = 6 2 x 3 = 63 + 3 + 3 c= 9 3 x 3 = 9

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 4 x 3 = 123+ 3+ 3+ 3+3 = 15 5 x 3 = 15

3 +.3-1-. 3+ 3+ 3 + 3 = 18 6cx 3 =. 18

Have a child read the column of products from the chalk--lboard chart. Elicit the response that when the child readsthese-products in order he is counting by threes. It isuseful to mark the, products on-the number line. Bring outthe fact that each product can be-obtainpd13ty adding 3 tothe preceding product.

Point out to your class that the products Van be recordedshorter way on a multiplication chart such as the one on Work-sheet 15. Help the children complete the colump corresponding- .t9 multiplication of the numbers 0 ,through 6 times 3,,

tt2. In a manner similar to that above havethe following chart made

on the chalkboard:

0 x 6 06' 6 I 5( 6 = 66 + 6 = 12 ,.2x6 = 12

6 + 6 '18 3 x 6 = 18'6 21.- 6 + 6 +- 6

0=

= 24 4x6 = 246 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30 5x 6 = 30

6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 36 6 x 6, = 36

.)

The children should follow the board work on their own num-ber lines. until 'the produbts become greater than the numberssb.own onithe number lines. The products should be recordedon Woiksheet 15.

3. The children should now complete Worksheet 15. They mayuse the completed WorkSheet 13 ox their, individual numberlines.

4. lien the children that because it .is 'easier to find numberswhen they are.in.counting order, multiplication charts areusually made like the one on Worksheet 16. ,Have the chil-dren cut out the' columns from the chart on Worksheet 15 andpaste them over the corresponding columir on Worksheet 16.(If you wish, you may have the rows simply reA.copied inordei.) Now, both rows and columns pi .the multiplicationchart should be in order of increasing ihtegers.

DO not require the students to memorize the multiplication0 facts. Let them refer to this chart whenever it is necessary,to find a product. The patterns in the chart will bp discussedlater. How.ever,"a child who notices some of them now shouldbe encouraged in his observations.

NOTE: Have the children save Worksheet 1-6 for use in future lessons.

Lesson 6: MULTIPLICATION-USING ARRAYS

In this lesson products are found by counting the objects inrectangular arrays.- This is shown to be the same as joiningequivSlent.sets otunit -spaces on,a number,line.

MATERIALS

. demonstration number line20 counters to place on the number line (put sticky puttyor pieces of masking tape on paper counters) ,Worksheets 17 -and 18

PROCEDURE

Put 4 counters on the olesk 6f each of 5 children.

HOW MANY CHILDREN HAVE COUNTERS? (5)

HOW MANY COUNTERS DOES EACH ONE HAVE? (4)

HOW CAN WE FIND OUT HOW MANY COUNTERS THERE AREALTOGETHER? (Count or add. If Ahild says multiply-5' x. 4, change the question to ''Can yOu.show this on thenumber. line ?")

Have each of th'e 5- children in turn' place his counters on thenumber line. In discussion bring ou't the following facts: Wejoined 5 sets of 4 counters each and found we had 20 counters.The addition equation for this is 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 It- 4 = 20. Themultiplication equation is 5 x 4 = 20. (You can think of this...equation as saying that 5 times We had 4 objectS.) Each countercorresponded to a unit space on the number line, so we alsojoined 5 sets'of 4 spaces each.

Have each of the 5 childien pick up his 4 counters. This timehave each put'down his counters as one row of a 5 x.4 array:

The problems on Worksheet 19 can be solved by making ap-propriate arrays and counting the-menibers . Suggest that theclass make the arrays on a `pegboard or -with counters. Youmay wish to have volunteers show their arrays on a flannelboard. perhaps some children wopld like to make up more,entries for the parade.

The terms "row" and"6olumn" In ay need tobe reviewed. Sometimes we use the phrase"number in each row"in Rlace of the equiva-lent "number pf coluMns.

The game on the nextpage may be played afterWorksheet 19 has beencompleted.

I) Array Game

This game is described for an individual player. However,. itmay be played by partners or teams. The game ma also bevaried by using pegs and pegboards in place-of tiles.\\

A player takes & number of square tiles the number is deter-mined by choice, by drawing a slip of numbered paper, or bytaking a handful of tiles,. He makes as many different rectangu-lar arrays as.he can from the tiles, but-. he must use every tileeach time, The results are recorded on Worksheet- 20, Or on asimilar record sheet.- For example, from 15 tiles, a playercould make arrays of: I x 15; 3 x-5., 5 x 3, and 15 x I,.

The players should soon seesthat the arrays occur in pairssuch as 2 x 3 and 3 x 2, They should also-discover thatmany more rectangular arrays can be made from certain 'num-bers of tiles than from others. For example, eight, differentarrays ,can be made from 24 tiles an only two. arrays canbe made from 23 tOs.

3,D

The players may deyise theirown.scoring rules. Ohe po,s,sible way to score is to giv.eone point for each array and tototal the points for five trials.,The winner' is the one with Elie'greatest score.

Lesson 8: COMMUTATIVITY OF MULTIPLICATION

In this lesson the commutative (or order) principle of multipli-cation .is presented. This principle states that the factorsmay be taken in either order; for'example, 3 x,4 = 4 x 3.The children should understaod and use the commutative prin-

.,ciple, but they neednot use the term.

MATERIALS.

2 flannel boards or 2 bdards, pieces orcardboard,or magazines ...

- 24 shapes for the boards -- preferably fish (there isa pattern at the bad: of this manual).

Worksheet 21

PROCEDURE

.Place two boards before the class. (Or place twoboards, pieces of cardboard or magazines on a table.) Haveavailable 24 'simpl fish shapes. Read or tell the followingto the children:

Seven children, on a Qicnic with their parents, de-cided to go fishing. Th- 3 boys went in one boat.

and the 4 girls in another boat. When they came in .

for lunch, the boys Sho1.tted tthe girls,' "We have'more'fish than you do. Each of ifs caught 4 fish."The girls called; "You do not; Each of us caught3 fish, and there are more Of us." Who was right?

Place the 4 fish .for one boy in -a row on one flannel board(Or on one of the boards or magazines) saying that you aregoing to make a picture of the ritirnbet of fish _caught by thebbys: Place under this row the rows of fish f6r the othertwo boys, producing ,a rectangular array.

. .

Ask a child to count the total number of fish and write thecorresponding multiplication equation on the blackboard.(3x4 = 12, not 4 x 3 = 12)

Similarly on the other flannel board (or board or magazine)Make a rectangular array showing the girls' fish.

.

Again have a child count the total number of fish and write the.corresponding multiplication equation. (This time, 4 x 3 = 1'2)

Someone should by, now have volunteered the inforination thatthe boys and girls caught the same number of hill. If not,bring this out, and then ask ifithe arrays for the boys andgirls look alike. A child will probably suggest rotating onearray to produce the other array. Actually rotate one of the

flannel boards to show this. It does not matter whether wehave 3`,Yows of 4 fish or 4 rows of .3 fish; the total is the same :3 x 4 = 4'x3.

The children Should now be ready for Worksheet 21 where more.examples of the commutativity of multiplication are giyen.

Tell the class that they will make another multiplication chartby counting the number of members in arrays.s,an example,ask a child to and count a 3 x 5 array.

All the children should enter the product 15 in,the box Wherethe 3,-row and the 5-column intersect on Worksheet 25.

Ask if they should:draw a 5 x 3 'array to find the product5 x 3. If the answer is no, agree and point out that,only half

thb products in the chart need to be found -because the otherhalf ju. st.have the order of the. factors reversed. (Note thatthis is the first use of the term "factor." Introduce it casuallyby repeated exaMpre.). If the answer above is agree that.this would give the product 5 x 3, but ask if there is an' easierway. This should bring^a suggestion to chahge the order of the'factors. Someone may also' correctly suggest viewing the 3 x 5'array from the side. Have the children enter the product 15 inthe bOx where l -row and 3-column intersect.'.

Now tell the class that you know another-short cut for findingthe products. (This "short cut" is primarily introduced to givepractice in recognizing relations among numbers.) Instead of

Ldsson I I: MAKING..AN ADDITION CHART

In this lesson the children are asked to complete a 6 x 6addition chart. This chart will be used in the next lesson.Making the chart will also provide a review of ways of find-ing sums.

MATERIALS

- Worksheet 3,0

- addition 'aids' such as number lines, counters , and additionSlide rules

PROCtDURE

Have each.child Complete Worksheet 30, which is an additionchart with sums from 0 + 0 to 6 + 6. There will probably bechildren who fill. in the chart by memory or by a simple count-ing procedure. However, .it is expected that there will beother children who will need to use aids such-as number lines,counters, and addition slide rules. Discuss with them theidea that only half of the sums need to be determined and theother half can be recorded by using the commutative principle.(However, don't use the word with the 'c)-iildren). For example,after determining that 5 + 6 = I I , one immediately knowsthat 6 + 5 = II.

Do not require theclass to memorizethis chart. 'The ob-jective here is tohave the chart cor-rectly completed sothat it can be us.edin the next lesson.

2. Have the children-look for patterns .in the charts. They should,notice' some of the ,following patterns,, although they may notdescribe them in these words.- They may notice other 'patternsalso.

,Each, chart is symmetric about the diigonal that goes fromtheupper left to the lower right because both operations are comrmutative. In the multiplication- chart the rows and Columnsinvolve 'skip counting"; for example, the 3-column reads 0,3, 6, 9, 12, 15,, 18 where each term is foUnd by adding. 3to the preceding ierm. The "terms in a row or column in theaddition chart .dre.in counting order; for example, the '3- columnreads 3, 4, ^5; 8, 7,A, 9.- The ascending diagonals on the.addition chart have identical Wins., the descending diagonals' areeither odsd or even numbers in order.
